You Must Wait a Few Moments To Use Another Skill

Why am I getting this message on one of my guys but no others?

It's stuck. Been like this for 30 mins tonight.

I've had this problem before at random times and someone told me to buy a pen and try to make something and that usually fixed the problem, but now I can't get it to work. Maybe I forgot what was told to me.

Can anyone help? Thank you.

Edit: Just thought I'd update and say I'm not even sure I've played this guy much at all since I reactivated this account. No idea why it'd be doing this. Would greatly appreciate some help. Trying not to page a GM unless I absolutely have to because it's not a character I play a lot, but it bugs the heck out of me not to be able to use his skills.

I had that problem a while ago, and even when i paged a gm he never fixed it, in the end i soulstoned all my skills off and deleted my char, im 100% positive theres a less brutal way of fixing it though?

they just fixed the pen trick that would have let you fix this problem that you're having - now you're just gonna have to wait the 6 hours for a GM to come and fix you - good luck - you're screwed - hehe

This is a very old bug that crops up every so often. I had the same problem a few years ago. A GM can fix this problem, if he knows his job.

The skill delay message when using tools happens when you just used the hiding skill. You have to wait out the skill timer before you can use a tool.

You should page in for a GM to take care of the issue. If you are experiencing problems and it's not getting solved please pm me.

Actually get a blank map and attempt to create a map that you cant actually make...
problem solved!:thumbsup:
NOTE
this will not let you spam skills, it will remove the timer issue that your having.

Thanks for trying to help me guys. Looks like the only option is to page a GM or soulstone skills. Only 2 skills I think that really need soulstoned (Mage and Eval) so I'll probably just end up doing that.

If I page a GM with the problem do I have to be there when he shows up or can I just be AFK at like Luna bank? This isn't normally a character where I'd be playing him 3 hours in a row to know when a GM shows up.

Weird why this guy is doing it though and none of my others. Oh well I guess. At least it's not one of my main characters.

Lynk already told you how to fix it if you scroll up. If you have any of Lynk's old pvp photos saved you'll notice he had a lot of experience with pens in his backpacks.

Yeah, and if you'd notice... I said that didn't fix it.

Good attempt at trolling though.

You think a GM could fix the problem if I just put it in a page and went afk at luna bank?

Or do I have to be there for them to help me?

try making a macro using the "closegumps" command. i dunno if this will fix your problem, but it works for me when my animal form spell gets bugged.
